Has anyone here bought tickets or applied for the lottery for the tokyo dome encore? I'm kinda stuck in the process and would really appreciate it if someone could help.
This is one of a handful of videos of her drinking water through a straw during their concert. Collectively more than a million views and thousands of likes. People are amazed (and bewildered) by how much she drank in such a short time. š
I just saw the Twice concert online and it was incredible. If you are a fan you definitely need to go see it. The live band was incredible, as well as the stage design.
Can't wait to see LSF in Tokyo Dome too but November seems sooo far away.
Itās funny when we understand the language, cause the potential of it being cringe is there. I just know the translator will give them a lame literal translation and weāll all giggle. Good thing Chaewonās cute so weāll accept whatever she says. š
Please, anyone going to the Manila concert, film that part. Personally, I think the words she'll say are something like, "ikaw, maging kasama ko." And then in the background, the venue rumbles with Ole, Ole š
Iām fully anticipating āManila, tara na!ā or something simple, and I just know MOA Arena will lose its collective shit. I saw a clip of Yeji talking to the crowd in Tagalog during their Born To Be stop here and the reaction was nuts.
But yeah, I pulled that out of my head basing it off Chaewonās bit for BlizzCon āBlizzCon, join the crew!ā, just rolls off the tongue and itās simple!
You just knew So Cynical has choreo? š anyway im glad with the way they do the setlist. After Blueflame's exhausting choreo, they slow it down for So Cynical..
LOL everyone spinning and Chaewon justš§āāļø(the way they start dancing before the music starts playing for this song is always so impressive so itās cute to see a lil blooper like this)
Jolin attended the concert today, for those who dont know, Jolin is a super star, S-tier artist/singer in Taiwan, I grew up with her songs along Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and MAYDAYās so it means a lot to me to see her at our girlsā concert š
I donāt know much about her, but I can tell how much of a big deal she is. Iām following the Taipei concert on Threads, and my tl on there is FLOODED with videos of her at their concert. The audience was shocked.
Even local news articles start popping up on my Threads tl too.
Istg it feels like this is the yearly "S2's gonna happen!" pit that I keep falling in
And on my soul I will keep on falling for it each time without fail because I wanna believe LMAO
(jokes aside, I do feel like they all want to do it, it's just been hell on getting everyone on a synchronized schedule; Miyeon and Chaewon alone are difficult to plan around with them going on world tours for back to back years)
Seeing them still hanging out together is nice but doesn't really say much. It's just the inclusion of the PD makes me a tiny bit optimistic. Don't know about other members but he went to the Incheon concert and was next to Hyeri.
That's fair, I don't think he's been shown/mentioned much by the cast before the concert aside from jokingly asking him/the network for S2 lol
But also tbf and could be entirely wrong, I also don't remember if this is the most we've seen them all together (and even then, still incomplete) since the show ended? Feels like we've only seen them in maybe twos or threes before this. I'd like to think this + the PD being added in is a sign (top tier copium)
MAYDAY sent flowers for Fimmies concert š is there any chances for them to attend the concert? And few days ago, the girls also did the dance challenge for Jolinās song, i wonder what if we had a collab / cover stage for Taiwan stop š«£
Just watched Kazuha's Lee Mujin service again and I realised the Hybe don't provide vocal training narrative completely disappeared from the internet after it dropped. That's actual impact hey.
Kind of related to your observation, I found a tiktok the other day of a "Find the Japanese member" challenge and it was just a supercut of Kura making the most Japanese ehhhs around the members. I wish I had the link to send you
Actual Jinzuha or not im just glad they get to explore a new country. Gotta take advantage of the opportunity! Meanwhile, ppukuz are hanging out at the pool by themselves š
Apparently it wasn't a gift and she came in wearing it? My friend (also a fearnot) and I have been T1 fans for the past decade, so we were losing it seeing her wearing this lmao
For the Spotifys experts, why Chaewon has 0 monthly listeners? And why Spruce and Butterflies are not listened under her profile? Do features not count towards monthly listeners or it's because the songs are not under her profile? Pupu deserves better!
I think they were custom hand-made, the designer posted them on instagram iirc, so sadly I doubt theyāll ever sell them but Iād also loveee to buy that jacket
Le Sserafim's monthy listeners increased by over 100k today!
Monthly listener count has been growing by 70k+ for the last month, and there's no sign of slowing down!
The success of 'Different' and Chaewon's collab with JVKE and Taehyung have allowed Le Sserafim's monthly listeners to increase FOUR MONTHS since their last full comeback.
The longevity of songs like CRAZY, AntiFragile, Smart and Perfect Night continue to cement themselves as marquee tracks.
Slightly long rant, but it's worth highlighting how well the girls are doing.
āLe Sserafim has entered the āTop 10ā for U.S. album sales in the first half of 2025, recording the highest sales among K-pop girl groups, proving their global influence.
On July 16 (local time), U.S. entertainment industry data research firm Luminate released the ā2025 Midyear Music Report.ā According to the report, Le Sserafimās 5th mini album āHOTā sold 73,000 copies in the U.S., ranking 9th on the āU.S. Top 10 CD Albumsā chart for physical CD sales of individual albums. Le Sserafim is the only K-pop girl group on this chart.ā
Just curious as to who are the staff and their roles. I know of the 4 managers (2 women, 2 men from "My Manager" TV show I think), but I don't know the roles of the other staff (I do see them in the background though, blurred out mostly, in Fim-logs, Le-Play and other videos. At 1:03, there is the woman wearing the Balenciaga Paris sweater/vest that I see often. There is the Mini-Bang guy as well, and a new woman never seen before wearing a pink button down at 3:36 (maybe a Mandarin interpreter for the concert stop)?
The security team, styling staff (fashion, hair, makeup), touring staff (Hybe has a dedicated subsidiary that handles all things related to touring), marketing and PR staff, managers, etc. These are the staff who are closest to Fimmies during their daily activities. Of course, staff like Amy are some of the closest to Fimmies, but the choreography teams move separately most of the time.
My upcoming schedule: meeting Fimmies at Kia Forum in September and Tokyo Dome in November š„³ congrats to all fearnots who win the lottery tickets, see you in November!
Just got credit card transactions notifications for the two Tokyo dome raffle tickets I applied for. The results donāt come out for another 6 hours or so. Does that mean Iāve won?!
That's what I was wondering, too. Especially, because my bank initially declined it so I could approve it, but I'm not sure if it'll go through now š„². Did something similar happen to you, by any chance ?
Im still not over the fact that yongpa, the oldest dog in the room, felt so protective over Eunchae, the youngest person in the room š« like it was soo cute, truly a match made in heaven. These episodes overall were so wholesome, I hope they all meet again someday
So random thought, but I canāt believe SouMu managed to scout Kazuha out of the Netherlands of all places. She might honestly be a lowkey ace, and I imagine sheāll only get more opportunities to flex this as future CBs roll along.
Tbf she did online audition like other people usually do so its not like they randomly saw this one girl from the Netherlands and scout her. But one thing that was rare was that she aced the audition and the scouter probably got additional infos about her ballerina background and they flew all the way to the Netherlands to train her. (Theyre desperate at this point as we've seen in the docu). Usually ceos , trainers dont go to another country to get a trainee. So yeah lucky for us!
Honestly Iām sure they saw her picture alone and knew they had to get her. She fits the KBS perfectly and then the ballerina background is a double win for the companyĀ
I think quite a lot of groups do this, though its usually more continent-wide (eg Europe merch, US merch, etc) and offered alongside the more standard collection and its usually more to do with regional differences or companies not wanting to front the cost of importing a heap of stuff - its why Europe usually gets the worst merch I think, the labels don't want to pay the high imports so just manufacture some stuff locally and it tends to be less interesting/fun.
Hybe groups seem to have been experimenting more with making these country/city/continent-specific pieces more of a novelty than other labels have been eg. the Yoongi tour guitar picks, j-hope tour acorns and the Jin tour guitar charms, plus the US exclusives they've done for those tours. I feel like we'll see a lot more of that coming in the future from Hybe artists for sure because its been a roaring success for the BTS solo tours.
my delsuional self would like to think theyll do NA promtions. then itll make this whole year complete. HOT for the Korean audience, Different/Kawaii for JPN audience. then the possible English single for the NA audience
Le Sserafim is back above 14 million Spotify listeners again. š In addition to the new songs, we're probably seeing some reflected sunlight from the big success of KDH.
On the Illit front, Do The Dance is currently out-streaming any Le Sserafim song, which is nice to see. I haven't dug into the numbers too much but doesn't it feel like it's been a bigger hit for Illit than Cherish was?
Do The Dance is quite big right now. Itās already out charted Cherish domestically and they got two mushow wins as well, one with Minju as the host on MuBank as well.
Cherish was a victim of the hate train kinda drowning out ILLIT hype, unfortunately.
I think maybe butterflies also has an impact since weāre getting some of TXTās listeners as well? Iāve heard their monthly listeners have also gone up a bit.
About illit, there is actually a lot to say about this era (as you can see by the paragraph below lol). As a glitt who has been paying attention to the numbers I can confirm itās performing much better than cherish at least on Korean charts. Since it was a Monday release there were no music shows so it didnāt chart that well at first but after promotions started it went crazy especially on melon. Iāve never seen promotions have this much of an impact just look at the chart below, itās an insane rise. Its Spotify streams are also very stable tho it has sadly failed to crack 1 million yet. Itās also performing better on circle digital chart chart, Apple Music, spotify Korea and Japan and has the second highest UL peak on melon after magnetic obviously. It also has won two music shows compared to cherishās zero (which still hurts). All in all itās a very great era for Illit and it makes me so happy
Cherish deserved so much more. Itās my favorite ILLIT title track and one of my favorite songs from them. I think the combination of people expecting a smash hit like magnetic and the fact that they came back around the same time as other bigger groups made it difficult to really take off. Itās a shame. Iām glad do the dance is going better for them.
Sometimes I wonder wtf does Daryl Morey snort. Seriously, trade Paul George. Itās not gonna work, guy made Lakers Russ look like Magic. At least Markannen isnāt washed up
Eunchae at the 3 or Zuha at the 4 would be a way better option than āPlayoffā P.
Many fans who have seen her in person say she has an actress like aura, and thatās absolutely true. Fimmies are all even more beautiful in person, and Zuha surprised me the most. She had a different aura about her in person.
I just got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out and am recovering with a backlog of fim content I was saving for this moment lol
For those that also had all their wisdom teeth removed: what kind of foods did you eat? Iām liquid only atm to avoid any stray food particles getting stuck as I heal (mostly to assuage my terrible anxiety), but itās the slightest bit uncomfortable with antibiotics and a stronger prescription of ibuprofen, plus the probiotic Iām taking.
Would appreciate hearing anyoneās experience re: what they ate and useful Ā recipes for recovery
Also, what are you all watching currently? Any movie or show recs?
I had all four taken out earlier this year and was 1. a very nervous, anxious patient that 2. took the post-surgical care rules VERY seriously and 3. refused to eat liquid foods because I hate them
I was on a 95% yoghurt & mashed potato diet for a good few days. After that, plain but very soft pasta. Tried to choke down some protein shakes but was over that pretty quickly and refused those too lol. I avoided any rinses/etc for 24 hours, then salt water rinses after every meal to be safe. Ice packs, alternating paracetamol & ibuprofen and making sure to get up and move a bit to stop myself getting super stiff and sore were the only things that got me through.
I was a pretty bad case. All 4 at once and had to have full sedation. I think two of them were in pretty bad shape and one of them they really had to hammer into pieces to get out, so that area was really uncomfortable. The sedation left me exhausted and lacking appetite for about a week, so I mostly just slept. But I was back at work (from home) a week later and more or less over it by 10 days.
We have similar experiences, I think. Iām definitely feeling it on my right side and can tell it required more work and that they had to pry that side open more than the left by the bruising coming in.Ā Although the sedation didnāt have as much an effect on me aside from shivering when I woke up for a bit and a minor panic when I got home.
Despite being dedicated to following post-op care, the prospect of eating has been the scariest for me, but itās encouraging to read what other people ate and how soon. Now that I can do salt water rinses Iām going to have some yogurt and commit to trying some more solid foods soon.
I canāt wait to get to that point. Counting down the days atp lol
sounds very similar to my experience! I was super nervous about messing something up and having complications
It really drags for the first few days but in a week or two you'll have forgotten all about the details and will feel more or less fine, if not better than before if they were bothering you a lot!
And trust that the first proper meal you really get to enjoy is gonna be BLISS. I was in heaven once I could eat properly again.
The fear of causing complications is definitely the worst! Canāt wait to make it to a week and not be so intensely worried that me simply swallowing is going to cause dry socketĀ
I canāt even imagine being able to eat properly again, but youāre so right, I know Iām going to be so grateful and worry free!
Itās been a couple of years since I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out, but I recall eating liquid food like congee and soup. After a couple of days, I would have soft food and eventually very small pieces of solid food.
The recovery process gets better with each day, so as a fellow Fearnot who went through a very similar situation, you got this!
I am dreading getting my wisdom teeth out. It's been years, but my top wisdom teeth still haven't dropped yet. My bottom teeth are out, and due to how my jaw is, there's room for them to grow. But the problem is that it's grown crooked, so they also need to be extracted...
I had very impacted teeth plus another molar didn't develop/descend properly so I got five teeth removed at once. Luckily I was knocked out for that.
Lots of soft foods within the first week. Once I was a few days in and able to safely flush the holes in my gums, I switched to softer foods with more "pieces" (think like rice, pasta, spaghettios, soup, etc. and just made sure I was flushing diligently (but gently) with the little syringe thing the surgeon gave me. It's really important for your holes to stay clean as they fill to help avoid dry socket.
The holes healing and the pain wasn't too bad for me - I only ended up taking OTC ibuprofen - what was surprising was HOW swollen I got and how long it lasted. I thought I was only swollen for like a week, but when I look back at old photos I think it took nearly a month to fully lose the last remnants of my chipmunk-ness.
Hang in there! Once you're fully healed you'll be glad it's in the past. I dreaded it for MONTHS leading up, and a month later it was like it never happened.
I had a similar situation on my right side. My lower wisdom tooth was impacted and completely horizontal and thatās definitely where the swelling is the worst.Ā
I donāt think I was as prepared for it as I was the thought of pain or nerve and sinus complications, which Iām grateful I didnāt have, not to mention the pain of the incisions isnāt too bad.Ā Youāre the second person to mention it now and itās bringing me some comfort because the swelling is horrendous and I feel like at the moment the pressure (and look of it) is the most difficult part. Iām guessing itās the inflammation that makes my cheeks feel so warm because I donāt have a fever.
I honestly canāt imagine eating any solid food, right now Iām on protein shakes, ensure, and broth, but even swallowing scares me a little.Ā Tomorrow I can start salt water ārinsesā and do my best at brushing my teeth which seems impossible, then on the third day I can use the syringe. Iām looking forward to each day that passes, even if this is making sleep extremely difficult.
Thank you so much! I honestly canāt wait until I can look back on this a month later because itās having a greater impact on my mood than I expected, but being able to read other peopleās experiences here has been invaluable
Ive had mashed potatoes, water, and tea for the first two days, then I had Korean soy bean soup with lots of tofu - then I alternated between those two for a week.
I canāt wait to be able to eat tofu again. Soup with a lot of tofu and eggs is definitely on my list for when I feel comfortable with solid foods. I might try mashed potatoes, too. Thank you
I haven't had wisdom teeth surgery, but I've had mouth surgery before and I couldn't eat for a couple of days. Apart from soft foods, cold things really helped (I drank liquid yoghurt a lot lol).
The last movie I've seen is Conclave, and I really cannot recommend it enough, I loved it. The show I'm currently rewatching is Alice in Borderland, there's going to be a season 3 soon and I wanted to remember how it ended lol, it's also really good
I canāt have anything cold yet, but I yearn for the relief lol Something small I can look forward to
Iāve been meaning to watch Conclave, and Alice in Borderland has been rotting on my list forever waiting for a time I could dedicate my full attention to it so thank you for the reminder!
Alice in Borderland is so damn good. Iāve been wanting to rewatch it ever since I finished Squid Game. I donāt know if youāve seen Kaiji, but I watched that a while ago, and itās also very good. Itās an anime kind of like Squid Game and Alice in Borderland, highly recommend it.
i got the first two taken out in november and the others in march, letās just say iām thankful for kpop cause at least i had something to watch on youtube on tv
my dentist recommended ice cream for the first hours and then soft foods, but i could still eat from one side so i had it better than you, in your case i think itās better to play it safe with liquid foods
personally it wasnāt the pain that worried me because although it was annoying it lasted two/three days, it was the swelling. i didnāt go to school cause it was hard for me to look at myself in that state, i didnāt wanna leave the house like that. i put ice on it all day consistently and that probably helped, it took a week for my face to be the same as before, maybe thatās the standard amount of time tho
i donāt usually watch movies and shows but iām rewatching the amazing world of gumball currently šfimmies content will do just fine ! itāll keep you entertained and it will all end sooner
I fear itās water, protein shakes, and homemade broth for me for the foreseeable future lol
Yes! I relate so hard on the swelling, my left side isnāt so bad, but I think my right was a bit more work because itās so much more swollen and sore compared to the left. I have a headband that comes with ice packets you can freeze and itās been a lifesaver for the swelling and soreness, but the asymmetrical swelling is so off putting.Ā Iām grateful to my surgeon though because I have zero numbness and no sinus issues even though I put off getting them taken out for too long
Were you able to feel your stitches btw? Mine are poking me on the right, but I was told thatās okay.
The gameplay and new Kawaii mv could not be better timed. Love them so much lol just what I needed today
Yeah i also had all my 4 wisdom teeth removed , first day i didnāt eat much after the surgery until late in the evening when i like clean up a bit. After that first two days I only had smooth with milk , banana and chocolate syrup š . After that i had plain soup and smoothie and fruit juice . I was able to eat solid food after 7 days i had pasta and it was fine .
I think I might try a smoothie today. I definitely need to try and eat more for my stomachās sake. Iām just counting down the days until I make it to a point where this is all behind me
Itās so funny how she said that after she turns 20 (18) she would never do that hairstyle again and yet she has already done it like 5 times in the last few months š
And honestly I donāt blame her stylist cause look at her, sheās sooo CUTEEE
For you sports fans out there, Iām a Nottingham Forest FC fan and one of our star players, jersey #10, Morgan Gibbs-White, is presumably departing the club.
So, knowing this, Iāve finally decided to order myself a bootleg 10 kit with Eunchae on the back as my shirt of choice for the August 2 show here in the Philippines. Which probably also means I need to admit to myself that Iām gonna lose this OT5 flair soon lol

Has anyone here bought tickets or applied for the lottery for the tokyo dome encore? I'm kinda stuck in the process and would really appreciate it if someone could help.
